I'm here to kill you, not to judge you

Mr Hans Gruber apologised to me. He said that some of this whole mess may have been his fault. He said that he'd been acting under the assumption that I knew how to do my job, but clearly we needed to take things from a more basic level so that I could learn.

Then he offered me a piece of advice. He said that in future if he said stuff to me, I shouldn't take it personally. It's not about me; it's just that he's under a lot of stress. I shouldn't react so emotionally.

Right. When he told me (personally) that I (personally) needed to work at least 100 hours a week (personally) in the office, I took that personally. And refusing to comply... Well, I guess that was emotional, in the sense that I calmly left the office every day at six. It must be because I'm just a weak little girl.

That's what a vampire, former classmate of Buffy's, psychology major said during their death match and amateur pschoanalysis session in the Sunnydale cemetery in the episode, "Conversations With Dead People".
